Inserting the Option Card

The video card must be placed in the qh slot. Figure 3-1 shows the correct placement of a video card. Most other option cards can be placed into any of the four remaining option slots, but some cards may need to be installed in a specific slot. Check the option card manual to find out if the option card has to be in a specific slot.

Even though option cards are designed to fit only one way, it is a good idea to examine the card first and follow the instructions closely.

1.Determine which option slot you are going to use, then remove the retaining screw and washer from the metal cover plate at the back of the slot. Lift out the metal cover and put it in a safe place in case you later remove the option card. Keep the screw and washer to secure the option card to the computer.

2.Unpack the option card and read all instructions that come with it. Then adjust any switches or jumper connections that are necessary.
